Our new paper tests the diet hypothesis for brain expansion. We found no evidence that larger-brained primates had more efficient foraging paths than smaller brained procyonids.
Why do primates have bigger brains🧠? Study @RSocPublishing shows that it’s not for efficient foraging. In the Panamanian rainforest, Ben Hirsch and Meg Crofoot compared how capuchins, spider monkeys, coatis and kinkajous solve the same foraging puzzle. doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2… 🧵
